Always try to make an option easy to understand and not package specific. For
example BLUETOOTH is preferred over BLUEZ because a user knows what bluetooth is
but may not know that bluez is the current reference implementation. Also, it is
preferred to make an option generic to allow multiple values in case the
package offers it.

Example, if a package offers different implementations for SSL, consider the
option with a value (e.g. SSL=openssl, SSL=gnutls, and such).

Also, if a package offers different implementations that can be enabled all
together, use a list separated by space (e.g. XML="libxml2 expat").

Those options should only change the package behaviour, for example: manual
pages or any other resource files that are not strictly required; they must be
installed and the user may exclude them via `vpk` instead.

Also, options should usually be named in a canonical manner rather than a
package name. For example, OGG is better than LIBOGG because what the options
means is enabling the OGG codec support, not specifically the library.

The following options should be available for any package that builds C or C++
code:

- CBUILD: build system (usually ARCH-linux-musl)
- CHOST: host system (usually ARCH-linux-musl)
- CTARGET: target system (usually ARCH-linux-musl)
- CC: C compiler (defaults to gcc)
- CFLAGS: C flags (defaults to -O2)
- CXX: C++ compiler (defaults to g++)
- CXXFLAGS: C++ flags (defaults to -O2)
